"Omnia Vincit Amor"(Love Conquers All) :The Art of Loving


I was browsing my electronic books and I got to see this book which have been with me for some time already but I never put any interest in it until the other day. This book is entitled "Testimony of Hope". These are the meditations that Cardinal Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan preach when he gave the retreat to the Roman Curia  including the Holy Father then now Saint John Paul II on March 2000 (when the Catholic Church celebrated the Jubilee Year). Here Cardinal Van Thuan also recounted his experiences during his twenty five years in prison in north Vietnam.If I recount his whole account that would be so long but here I will just point out the thing that struct me.

"Omnia Vincit Amor", Love Conquers All. Everything is rooted in LOVE. Love first. Don't ask the other to love you but instead you love them first. Love everyone. Love all, without exemption,not just those whom you like but especially those who do not like. Love without measure,give everything, do not set aside for yourself.Love one and complete.
